A little Lesson.

"Place an example upon the board"
Edith bought book for thirty cents,
a slate for ten cents, and pencil for
five cents.n Let the teacher say to the
little one "Now, read what is on the
board and tell me what you see." The
first pupil arises and in answer says: II
see that the book cost twenty cents
more than the slate" Another pupil
said II see that the slate and pencil cost
fifteen cents" Another, "I see that
the hook cost fifteen cents more than
the slate and pencil.n Another that
the book, and slate and pencil cost for
ty-five cents. Another, II see that the
book, and slate and pencil cost forty
five cents. Another, II see that the pen
Gil cost twenty-five cents less than the
book, and five cents less than the slate.
And thus the lesson goes on. The lit
tie ones were thinking, and the teacher
might say he deems it best, "Now you
may, for tomorrow, write upon your
slate what you discover from this state
ment.
By such little lessons as these the little
ones are led to think for themselves
quickly, learn to put confidence in
themselves, avoid counting upon fin
gers or making marks on their states
and also give them pride and encour-
agement in their work. They will ex-
hibit great care in placing small state
ments upon their slate and their i'm
vement will be readily noticed.

How to Address Your Letter.

1t is a fact, perhaps, not generally
known, that correspondents all over
the world, certainly all over the United
States, are making a change in the
manner of addressing their letters,
papers, documents and other matter;
which, if generally adopted, is destined
to institute revolution in the work of
corresponding, distributing and de-
livering the mails. Instead of first
writing the name of the person or com =.
pany to whom the letter or package is
to be sent, the name of the post office
is written in bold hand across the GEN.
ter of the envelope, and directly to the
right the name of the county or State.
The name of the person for whom the
missive is intended is then written in
the lower left-hand corner, and. if
deemed necessary, the name and ad-
dress of the sender is placed in the up
per corner to the left. The advantage
to be derived from the system by those
who handle the mail is patent to every
observer. In asserting and distribut.
ing, instead of having to hunt through
illegible scrawls to find the name Of the
postoffice to which the letteris address
ed, they have it right before them in
the initial line directly across the en-
vnlone and Ouch time otherwise lost
is saved. 1t is believed by those who
advocate the adoption of this system Of
addressing throughout the country that
it will be a long stride toward the per-
fection of our mail facilities.

A Pension For Everybody.
New York STAR

There is pension which can be
given to every man, woman and child
in the land without taking cent from
the Treasury, by the simple process of
reducing the taxes. Sixty millions a
year can be taken from the taxation
which now presses upon everyone,
from the grandsire to the babe. There
will be no fraud in the distribution of
the pensions that the Star proposes.
Those who are entitled to them will get
them. There will be no false or un-
worthy claimants. No part will be
paid to agents, or clerks or heads of de-
partments. The money will be left in
the pockets of the people, in the hands
of those who earn it-in the mechanics
hand, in the laborer's hand, in the
farmers hand, in the sewing woman's
hand. You representatives in Con-
gress who quarrel as to what taxes you
will reduce, and yet vote pensions for
Mexican veterans and the veterans of
the Indian wars, real and imaginary,
suppose you stop wrangling for little
while and reduce the taxes!

Failing Natural Gas.

Just at the present while the natural
gas craze is at its height all over this
State, and people are sinking their
money into useless holes, or tying it up
In fancy figured real estate in some gas
producing town, the following brief in
terview with gentleman just returned
from Pittsburg, may throw o damper
on the spirits of some. "There is no
doubt" said the gentleman in question,
but that the gas supply of Pittsburg is
falling. The citizens of the place are
very frank about it, and admit that
such is undoubtly the case. The only
ones who dispute the statement are the
owners of the gas wells, and of course
1t is but natural that they should.
Manufacturers who are using the gas
In their shops and factories told me

had become very perceptible within

FOUR bugaboos that have done duty
in frightening voters in the last three
Presidential campaigns will have no
affect in the election of next year. The
resistless logic of events has retired
them to the limbo of spooks that have
been "found out" and have therefore
no scare left in them.
These banished bugaboos were all of
Republican manufacture and manipu-
lation. The first was intended to deter
citizens from voting for change in the
direction of the Government exciting
fears that the negroes of the South
would be resenslaved, or at least op-
pressed, if the party SO long in power
We're compelled to give an account of
it's stewardship. The second-a twin
spook-frightened timid voters with an
alarm of "rebel supremacy" The
third which operated to defeat Gen.
Hancock, was the old familiar "tariff
scare" long relied on by the Republi-
can managers for emergencies. And
the fourth, sort of combination bu-
gaboo, made up of the other three, did
duty in the last campaign in at tempt
ing to deter voters from going against
Mr.. Blaine on the ground that the
Democrats cannot be trusted-that
business ruin and general chaos would
surely follow a Democratic victory.
All the assumptions upon which
these scarecrows were constructed are
now what Hosea Bigelow calls "explod-
ed ideas" Even John Sherman finds
the negroes safe and the South pros
porous and patriotic" The people
of New York, the greatest manufactur-
ing as well as commercial cityin the
country, last fall supported three Free
Traders" for Mayor; and while both
parties agree that the war tariff must
be reduced, one of them will not and
the other apparently cannot reduce it.
AS for the fourth scare, two years Of
Democratic rule have dissipated that
The country is seen Of all men to be
more prosperous than 1t was before, and
quite as peaceful and happy. If no
other good result had followed the
change, it has shown that it doesen't
make much difference (which party is
in power" and demonstrated again
that a government Of the people Is safe
in the hands Of any majority Of the
people. ,Y ,1,., ss',t y, ID, ,,5',5'' ,i,,tf

,bugaboos what shall be the iss6es Of the
campaign? That is still an open ques-

1t appears probable, says Vick's Mag
azine, that the days of patent fruit jars
are ended, since the testimony is so sat-
isfactory in favor of tyingcotton batting
over the mouth of the jar containing
the fruit. The fruit is cooked, or rather
brought to the boiling point, and then
poured hot into the jars, which are at
once covered with white paper, and
over that layer of cotton batting, just
as it comes off the roll, and tied down
securely with cotton twine. The
philosophy of it is that the cotton pre-
vents the entrance of bacteria, which
are the cause of all ferments.

A New Thing in Lightning Rods.

Lightning rod swindlers are working
a new scheme with good success in
securing victims. The farmer is first
called upon by pair of slick tongued
chaps who inform him that they are
sent out by the insurance people to
examine lightning rods; that the losses
by reason of defective lightning pro-
teetors have become so frequent and
heavy that the companies in self-de-
fense are compelled to look after the
matter and remedy the defects so far
as lies in their power. An electric
battery is produced, the farmer coupled
on to the handles, his lightning rod be-
ing in circuit, and the current not be-
ing turned on he feels no shock. Then
they produce a sample of a lightning
rod which they can furnish the farmer,
and to show him how perfect it is the
electricity is changed to their rod, and
the machine being heavily charged this
time, the farmer gets shock that is
almost knock-down argument. OF
course the bait is swallowed and the
victim signs a contract, and in day or
two along comes the second division of
the gang who put up the rod. About
this time the farmer receives another
and a harder shock by being presented
with a bill largely in excess of his ex-
pectations. No use kicking, for his
contract signed by hs own John Han
cock stares him in the face, and can do
nothing but make the best ofa bad bar
gain.

1t is early in the day to go into de-
tailed speculations of the composition
and vote of the next Democratic
National Convention, in the nomina-
ton of presidential candidate, yet
the Washington Gazette of Sunday last
devotes two columns to the subject
"If the Democratic party follows the
dictates of common sense, and renomi-
mates Cleveland" the writer thinks,
1.-THE Republican party will not have q
ghost of chance to win," no matter
whe .her it nominates Blaine or Sher-
man or any other man. Then it is
shown that Cleveland will certainly be
re-nominated by the Democrats, not
withstanding the admitted disafection
of "certain Democratic leaders and pro-
fessional spoilsmen." The national
convention next year will be made up
of 800 delegates, of which two-thirds,
or SAT will be necessary to make the
nomination. Then follows calculation
hy States, and the conclusion is reached
''lf the opposition insists on the for
mallty of a ballot, it will, at the very
worst, result in Cleveland's receiving
at least 672 votes, or 26 more than
enough to nominate, the field receiving
236, or fewer" Among the States set
down against Cleveland are Connecti-
cut, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Louisiana
and Indiana. -....

Business Booming.


sist in saying it is dull season,
it's patent to all that we are DO
ing a rushing business. 1T is
very plain that our efforts to
please the people in goods and
prices are appreciated, as the
numerous visits to our large
store will testify.
The general public read our
advertisements, think over them,
and can see that they are not
only safe in buying of the "Lit-
tie Dutchman," but that they
are getting the best, newest and
purest goods in the market at
prices that surprise all.
1t has always been the aim
of J. G. Saur to save money for
his customers. This you should
not forget, and also remember
that when he does you up a pre-
scription he uses nothing but
strictly pure goods. His drugs
and chemicals are pure and
fresh, and he sells them cheap
er than any other house in this
section of Ohio, at retail or
wholesale. If you want good
results from medicine, it will
surely follow by getting your
medicines of the "Little Dutch
man. at whose store you will
find every known remedy for
every known disease. He will
not sell any articles but what
he knows to be pure and fresh.
And, as this is the season of the
year when you are probably
thinking of repapering and re-
painting your house, we ask
your careful attention to Saur's
stock of Wall and Window Pa
pers. He is still and always has
been the "Wall Paper King"
and this season especially he
has outdone himself in selecting
styles and patterns that will
please all. Prices on these
goods are so low that the poor.
est man of a family can afford
to make his home comfortable
and attractive. There is moth
ing that adds more to a home
than a neat pattern of paper on
the walls.
Bear in mind that Saur car
ries the largest stock of Wall
Paper in this section of country,
He buys direct from the manu-
facturers in large quantities,
and always gives his customers
the benefit of this, as it enables
him to sell at cheaper prices
than smaller dealers can sell at,
It is indeed astonishing that
such a small outlay will buy
such beautiful paper and add
so much to your homes. But
come in and try it.
Also, Saur's is headquarters
for Paints and Oils. His Dia-
mond White Lead is known the
world over to be the best, and
his stock consists Of all varieties
and colors, ready naked or not,
Just to suit yourselves. This is
the time of the year to dopaint-
ing and those contemplating
fixing up" little this spring
should come in and see Saur
and his immense stock of Paints
and Oils. He has also a full
stock Of Brushes, Of all sizes and
for all uses. arsa4 st3' /,
